Question?
Are you a NASCAR fan and who do you like?
Yes and No. I still want my Earnhardt back.
Have you been to a race?
Ummm...let's see. Yes.
My mother was jumping the mudpuddles at the Nashville Fairgrounds speedway the night before I was born. My father drove a dirt track car throughout my entire childhood. My little brother was selling beer in the pits when he was 11.
Our family vacations were spent in Daytona - July for the Firecracker 400 (as it was called back then) and again in February for Speedweek and the Daytona 500.
Again...I only saw the races from the pits.
I helped serve birthday cake on Richard Petty's birthday and literally knew all the drivers and their families.
When I grew up and got married, my husband and I owned our own dirt track car. We spent our weekends going from track to track. I was in charge of the stopwatch and keeping up with our stats.
But I haven't been to a race for several years now. Sometimes I miss it...like right now.
Will you be attending a race this year?
Doubtful. But Bristol under the lights is always tempting.
BTW... Hi everybody!
I've been missing for a few days...been tweaking my behind off on a new site and I've been in Attribute Hell.
